The Weza FreeCharge is a portable power supply putting out 12V DC through a standard "cigarette lighter" style plug. It puts out enough power to jump-start a car or boat, but can also recharge most portable devices.But what's so cool about it is the way that you charge it, You step on it. More precisely, you use the "step treadle," meaning that you step up and down on it for a short while to bring the battery back up to full. If that doesn't sound fun, the Weza step-powered generator is designed to be charged with solar panels and small wind turbines (Freeplay recommends a 30 watt rating). You can even recharge it from a wall outlet, but that's cheating.
The Preparedness Center is proud to work with Freeplay, a company where quality and long-life durability are built-in values. Freeplay's new Weza has a feel to it like a warm, dependable wood stove. This solid, foot-powered energy source really pumps out the juice at up to a 30-watt rate to charge its own internal battery for direct 12-volt power. To charge it, you simply step down on the pedal and the generator spins.
Charging to full power takes modest dedication. When combined with one of our power stations you can use it to run and recharge emergency lights, small power tools, or power a computer system or watch a mid-size TV for hours while losing weight. Power outputs include negative and positive posts with an excellent set of beefy jumper cables and a cigarette lighter output. A line of LED's gives you your charge rate while pedaling and battery level with the touch of a button. AC adapter included for couch potato charging.
Freeplay's first non-dedicated charger is a very attractive alternative for well-off-the-grid use, and would be a good companion to a small photovoltaic system such as those found in remote cabins, travel trailers, year-round campsites, wilderness guide services and expeditions.
